A population model is a method which studies population dynamics. Population models could be applied to different fields of studies including biology, geography, ecology, agricultural studies, demographic studies. Their main purpose is to find out how complex processes work and to study the changes they provoke in the defined environment.

In the postgenomic era, one expects the suite of chemical players in a brain region to be known and their functions uncovered. Perhaps surprisingly, many neurochemicals remain poorly characte...
Decoding human genetic disease allows us to develop models of the pathology that can be directly tested with gene correction or targeted drug therapy. Dominant negative mutations are pa...
